SPIRIT OF THE runuc .1012RNALS. Otn°Sttention has been recalled to the ease Of Mrs. Pridhani,. by 'a correspondent. The above-named lady, it will be recollected, had been a pronriettsr of stock, which was•translerrec under a power of Attor ney, bearing apparentlyher ownsipature. She de nied, however, all knowledge of the power, which she declared to have been forged. On her epithets tion to inspect this instrument, the Bank Directors refused their per nission; unless she would consent to indemnify them against whatever claim might accrue to Mts.. rridham, from her establishing the proofs of. its forgery. We need not say that the universal feel ing of public was against. the conduct of the Bank on the occasion, as being harsh, illiberal, and unfair. For what is the state of the question between these parties ? A poor woman complains, that .through the knavery of some individual, acting upon the remiss ness of a, peat corporation, whom she had heen com pelled by iwi° confide in as the guardians of her pro perty, every shilling of that property had been conveyed away from her without her own authority or knowledge. She then told the Bank Directors, that as she had heen wholly' passive in the transaction, she claimed her money at their hands, and could proVe to the satis faction of anybody,, that no reason existed why shay shouldbe left destitute of the fituds which she had placed in their keeping. .One might imagine, on the first view of such a case, that the Bank Wold be eager to assist this injured lady to obtain redress for SO grie veins a wrong, would afford her , the most accurate in formation that they were able, and after replacing . her' .stock (should the power have been a forged one), would take upon themselves the duty ofstracing out the felon by whom it had been prepared, ',slid of vindicating at theim proper cost that public . justice, which, through 'their neglect or 'ignorance (and no fault of the lady), had been so gravely violated. The Bea, it appears, have acted in a different visit, They have thrown every possible difficulty in the way of the complainant. In s t ea d of sub mitting the questionable instrument to examina tion, and aiding the course of right and truth' they !lave felt foe nothing but their own interest, regardless of the ruin of an, innocent woman. Further, this in direct sort of caution has had the effect of impeding the path of justice, by suppressing that investrtion which might lead to the punishment of the offender. It is quite obvious that an indemnity front Mrs. hid ham to the Bank of England Would he premature determination of the whole &spine. If the power was not forged, the Bank would treed no such protection, because they would hiwe dune no wrong; if, on the other hand, the forgery 4bould he proved by the in spection, how could the Bank in justice require tts re lease against the consequences of their own miscon duct, at the expellee of One against whom no fault pr imprudence of any kind had been alleged ?—Tirses. BY a letter which appeared a few days since in a Morning Paper, it would scent that a novel mode of silencing the presshad been resorted to by a n inclivi• dual, who, both in the character of Director and Pro jector, is no small adept in the art of puffing. The simple 'process appears to be this—be brings an action 10 . 7,stiost a : contemporary, which h e a ft erwar d s agrees to tomproirsisc, upon condition or the latter saying no thing against hint for the time to conic. This is an admirable ruse guerre the adopti on o f w hi c h we strongly recommend to thel whole tribe of thieves, swindlers, sehemers, and projectors for the time to come. Let any one who has a deep-I;6d sch eme o f plunder, whi, I t he wishes to carry on and consummate, in a way unknown to the public, only contrive to get himself libelled, as lie chooses to call it, in the news 'papers, and then let hint hold the terrors of hislaw stir s bill over the timid part of the press, by way of intimidation ; and he thus purchases impunity for all his future misdoings. 'The press cannot be too much upon its guard against these kind of artfitl machina. tions. Such a ffisclostire as ,this speaks volumes, showing, as it does, the way in which both silence and etilogitinf too often take the place of , manly censure and exposure. Every man s is emphatically said, should be the guardian of his own honour and repu tation. The press'ttio should be the guardian of its own diitity and independence. To receive the hatred and vituperation of the vile and worthless, and of those whoSe schemes and projects to defraud turd plunder the public it unmasks, is its highest honour. To all this, however, all compromise must be out of the question. Were mere gain the sole object of those who conduct the press, then thieves and swindlers, gaiabfers, blackleg, imposters and seducers, would be ready enough to share their profits and their infamy with those who should be Ewe enough to pander to their crimes and practices. But :there will ever be, we trust, an unbanght . freedom of the press, which neither price nor intinudation can reach, and. which will hold in check those who, without its independence, would rule the ascendant, to the ruin and disgrace of them selves and of mankinds--Moming Herald. Several instances of the jealousy and alarm with which most provincial Alagistrateti regard the Press have lately occurred. Stich instances of jealousy and alarm manifested towards the faithful chronicler of their public acts, does not say much for the good sense or conscious rectitude of our rural Magistracy. When we speak of the character of the body, we speak of it as it stands in relation to the conduct of the majority; for we are aware, that in every county almost there are some virtuous and right-minded Magistrates, who la ment the norow and illiberal views of their brethren. If tilt e he one office which the Press exercises that is more valuable than another in a free country, it is that constant watchfulness anti inspection which it culti vates with regard to the proceedings in Courts of Jus tice. Upright. Judges, like good men in a ll situations, love light better t-h 4,1 darkness. They are not like gamblers and thieves, a s h ame d of the reflection of their own facers. On the other h an d, partial and corrupt &avowed to c oncea l th e i r Judges have in all ages en deeds as much as possible from the public eye, and 10 prevent their bring put on any indelible record. As owls blink at the broad light of day, so are their eyes offended at the evidence of . history; yet it i x b y ex .. perienee that all things improve, and esp ec i a lly the administration of justice. But how is the i n i m i n l dra _ tion of justice to have the benefit of e x p er i ciice without their proceedings being reported, and traria. mitted from one generation to mother along with th e history of the times ? It is not inure certain that piiblic men die, than that their acts ought to sur vive, that their successors may derive instruction and warning from their wisdom and their errors. i This is acknowl e dg e d in the greatest Courts of Justice n the realm. It is only in the minor Courts—such as those of Coroneis and Justices of the Peace, that a prin ciple of exclusion and concealment exists, which is as much at variance, with common senile as with the very elements_ Of the British Constitution. If it be neces sary that all should be known and recorded which takes place in the superior Courts, where the chances of error or i mpropr i ety Recision are' Comparatively few, on account of the distinguished abilities aiid learning of the Judges, 'such publicity ie much More necessary in the inferior Courts, Where the presiding wisdom or virtue is not quite so eminent. The his tory of mankind has ever shown that all inquisitotial power degenerates into oppression. Men of base or corrupt dispositions van do things in secresy which they would be ashamed to attempt before the eyes of the public. Mahy things are done in Sessions, with closed doors, which dare not be attempted in open Court. If it be essential to the well-being of a state that justice should be pure in the highest places, it is of no less consequence that the administration of the laws should be untainted in its source—or in those Courts in which the preliminary proceedings of justice are instituted.. Nothi ng c a n b e so • available to so great and national a purpose as the faithful going forth of all their acts to the world—and in performing such a task the press acts in conformity with th e s pi r it o f the Constitution, and bestows upon the nation an in estimable benefit. This is not so much th e advan tage of the Press'as the privilege of the country.— Magistrates must revolutionize 'the laws before they can suppress it.—Morning Herald: POLIft INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE.—On Saturday Mr. Wilke appeared to oppose the btil offered on an attachment laid by him against Mr. Frederick Verbeke, the brother of his former partner, on an action ,to recover the sum of 241. tom. 6d., being the alleged share of ex pence,: incurred in - the attempt to farm a Provincial Bank for England and Wales. As tar an we could learn the nature of the transaction, it appeared that Mr. Wilkes, when he projected the plan for the Privincial Bank of England and Wales, got several persons to sign an agreement to pay a share of the expellee in curred in earring it in execution. Mr. Frederick Verbeke was one of the' persona who signed. The plan, as every one knows, failed, after Mr. 'Willis• had sent eircttlar letters to all the Members of Parliament, and had got a petition in . its favour presented. ,He then, after these services had been performed,' brought in a bill for 24,81. bs. Sd. against the parties for the expenses. Nearly all refused to pay the charge, alleging that it was exorbitant, and they required a specification of the items, which, we understood, he refiised to give, or at least refused to give in a manner which they deeined satisfactory. In consequence of their refusal, he gave notices of actions ; and to ensure his 241. 10s. 6d. from each, actually issued attachments front the Lord Mayor's Court againt the money in the hands of their bankers. 'l'his was the case with Mr. F. Verbeke, the defendant, who now appeared to bail the attachment, and to undertake to resist the demand in court. Mr. Dickenson, a respectable solicitor, residing in New Broad street, and Mr. Milford, the Secretary of the Welsh Iron Corn puny,. and brother-in-law of Mr. Wilke, appeared to give bail. Mr. Wilke opposed Mr. Walford'on the ground that, as Secre tary to a Company, he was not a householder, but a mere servant to the Company, and would not be entitled to give bail. The Lonn Mayon. asked Mr. Wulford whether he resided in the house ?—Mr. Watford replied in the affirmative. The Loan MAYffit was ihwidedly of opinion that the Secretary of a Company, resident in the house,' might give bail. He there. fore admitted Mr. Walford. Mr. IVilks oppusedMr.Dickenson as bail, on the ground that he had the other day borroWed a guinea. 'l'be Loan MAYOR smiled at this objection, and said that he had the other day actually occasion to borrow one himself. The bail having sworu that they Were worth the sum of 24/. each (after having displayed some uneasiness at the opposition, as a piece of sharp practice), were admitted. Mr. Verbcke tendered a protested bill of Mr. Wilkes for 28!. lbs., as bail; but, after having excited some amusement, it was rejected as irregular. GMLDHALL.—Just tut Sir JOHN PERRINO, the Pitting Ma gistrate, waa shout to quit the justice-room on Friday last, Mr. 'Mika, M.P., made his appearanre,.and applied Ihr a warrant for the apprehension of the publisher of The her having cir culated a libel upon him, hi the paper of the previous day, imput ing that he bad ounimitted sets punishable criminally by' law. ..Tbe libel trots contained in the shape of a letter signest Win. Carrie," which stated that in four or five tfavosaetions, he bud been guilty of oftenees of u erinunal nature against Sir Thomas Vintner's Act, the 62 Geo: 61 . 1. 63. Mr. Beresford, ihe chief Clerk, considering it new in prac tice . to grant a warrant upon 81101 a charge on a verbal com plaint only, and that it involved a question of great impor tance to the proprietors of newspapers; recommended the ma gistrate to take the advice of the City Solicitor, and Sir John ac cordingly obtained his opinion. On returning into the justice room, he, without assigning any reason for the refusal, said he must decline acceding to the application. Mr. Wilke insisted Abet the Alderman was hound to grant the warianti and referred to a discussion in the House of Lords, where Lord Ellenliorough and the Lord Chancellor had concurred that Justices of the Peace out of session, may issue their warrants against persons charged with libel. The doct r in e had. be en recog nized in the Courts below so lately as the tat Geo. IV. (referring, we believe, to the coed of " Butt a, Conant," argued in the Common. Picas), and it bad - been acted upon by a Magistrate still more re— cently, in Alactin, M. P. against the lgrorning . Chronick, at liow-street. Sir JOHN PE!!.II,ING consulted the City Solicitor again upon these authorities, and again he returned with his former denial. 14r. Wilka begged to be informed whether the Aldertnan's doubts related to the law or the facts of his case. :air JOHN said be should not state the grounds upon which he acted. - Alr. Wks then hinted that he should •apply to the Court of Kik . ° Bench upon the subject of his refusal, and forinally de rnai)ded that he should be sworn and examined upon the matter of his mniplaint. Mr. Payne, the clerk, thought Mr. Wilke ought to have pre pared the depoiritionii himself before he made , his application. Sir ,Joins Perrairro, in reply, dropped an expression to the effect, that he believed he should not grant the application, whether it were reduced to writing or not. He knew he was amenable to the, Court of King's Bench for his conduct. " Oh," said Mr. Wilke, beginning to retire, " then if I have even brought , my complaint in writing, you would have refused to receive it." Mr. Payne—lf you bring your complaint in writing, the Ma gistrate will then consider it. Sir Joits Putitinn--.Let ins see your depositions in writing, and I will then decide upon them. Mr. Wilke— Oh ! no, Siri you have told me you, would nut grant the warrant if I were to bring my complaint in writing. Sir JOIIN Pitaainu—l do not say so, Sir. Bring your depo sitions, and I will consider your applications. Mr. Wilks, however, again repeated his last expression and quitted the office. Ile did not renew the application on Saturday. Mr. Wallace, a barrister, tendered a long affidavit exculpating . himself as to certain transactions in the Vigo Bay affair, to which he requested to he sworn. sir Jolts Penaint; desired to be made acquainted with the applicant's object. Mr. Wallace replied, that he had commenced an action for libel agaiint the Morning Herald, but the Editor continued to attack his character, and his friends advised him that be ought not to delay justifying himself in the eyes of the public, until the oppor tunity of doing it in a Court of Justice should arrive. • Sir Jam; Pritattia said the object of the affidavit evidently wee to effect the public Mind by its publication, and he was appre hensive that by allowing the contradiction of • the alleged libel to b sanctioned by an oath, he should perhaps be instrumental to prejudicing the mind's of some of the jurors by whom the action would be tried. He should therefore decline administering the oath, but Mr. Wallace might still publish his statement in the Newspapers as an advertisement. • our readers will . . _ 13 0W-STREET.—L?eutenant Kingston, who, , . remember, was remanded on his first examination on suspicion il hit c o mo of f 0 bigamy, a n d su b sequent l y or d ere d to fi n d b a il f o r an R oom wife, was b roug h t b e f ore t h e M ag i strate at t h e i ns t a nce that d lady and h er mot h er , M rs .

QUEEN-SQUARE.—Saturday Daniet.ploomfield and Frs . &rick Saville, the latter every genteel.looithig wing man, were bronght to this office charged with entering the shop of Mr. Grant, No. 24, Sloane-terrace, Chelsea, and stealing two trunks, containing jewellery and wearing apparel. Mrs. Grant identified the two trunks produced as her property. The prisoners declined saying any thing in_ tbeir defence, and they were remanded Until Monday twit-(tbis day..) Mr. Charles Tanner, of No, 5,' Duke-titreet, Adelphi, was charged With being riotous and disorder/yin the Five Fields, Chelsea. Ordered to find bail. LAMPETH-STREET.—Three brothers, shoemakers, of the name of Long, residing in Shadwell, were brought up in custody of Dalton, and placed at the bar, before Sir D. WILLIAMS and Mr. llaanwica, on a warrant issued at the instance of Mr. Hall, a butcher, in Limehouse, charging them with having, contrary to the statute, and without his leave or authority, entered his pre mises and disturbed a beast therein, his property. Their master, Mr. Collet, a wholesale shoemaker, carrying on business in Upper Chapman-street, St. George's, gave the prisoners a most excellent character, and he said they had worked for_ him for several years, and soberer, honester, or better-conducted young men there could not be. lie felt assured they were incapable of committing the offence laid to their oharge. Sir Damn, after dwelling on the culpability of the prisoners) said, that, in his opinion, their identity , was not sufficiently proved to warrant him in dealing with them as their offence deserved. They should not, however, get off altogether unpunished, for that they should find bail—but whether to keep the peace towards those biped animals his Mojesty's subjects, or the quadruped ones the bullocks of Whitechapel, did not appear.—The prisoners were discharged. UNION-lIALL.—On Saturday a very extraordinary investi gation took place at this office, before J. S. CALmv rut. and 11. 11ar'nrn, Esqrs., respecting an infant that was reduced to a frightful Kato of emaciation in consequence of starvation. Mary B urr oughs, the supposed . mother 'of the little sufferer, which is en illegitimate child, was brought up in custody by the parish officers of Newington, to which parish it was now charge able, to answer for the offence. The Rev. A. C. OxsLow, s the rector of the parish, attended for the purpose of assisting his brother e:l%lgstrates in the development of the my s t er i ous c i rcums t ance s ~ ected with the case, which excit e d cons id era bl e i n t eres t i n t in i Newington, and collected a vast number Of the inhabitants of that portion of the district to the office to hear the proceedings. The unfortunate infant, the subject of theinquiry, was brought into Court by the midwife, who attended the accused during her accomdiement. It presented a deplorable sight, reduced to a mere skeleton from the effects of want of food ; the bones in its meagre and decayed frame were almost starting through the akin, and the thumb and fore-finger of its left hand were dreadfully excoriated, w hi c h was produced, as will be seen, from the surgeon's eVidence, in consequence of starvation, the child having sucked its own flesh and caused deep-seated wounds, fbr the want of proper nourish ment. The defendant, on her entrance into the office, appeared ex cessively ill, so much so, that it was with difficulty she could walk without assistance. She is a respectable-looking woman, apparently about 40 years of age. During the investigation she became en much worse, that it was apprehended she would have fainted several times. Snow, the beadle, stated that a female, named Mary Litdiehl, a• midwife, who acted in that capacity for the defendant during her accotichement, Caine, to the work-house a few days ago, and • represented that the child of which ,Mrs. Burrows was delivered in the month of April last, was dying for want of food, and the mother was quite careless as to its fate. He lost no time in at. tending to the case, and proceeded to the defendant's residence, where, after having experienced some difficulties; he saw the child, which at that time was apparently fast approaching disso lution, being reduced to nothing but a macs of hones, and anima tion scarcely perceptible. Having been informed by the midwife that the child's illness had arisen from the want of food, he con veyed it to the workhouse, where proper attention was paid to it, and the child was now so far recovered, as to hold out a prospect of its ultimate return to• health. Snow added, that the over seers' of the parish, determined on making an example of a mother capable of neglecting her own offspring in the shameful and unna tural manner ascribed to the defendant, had her brought on the present occasion, in order that the Magistrates .might visit the offence with that punialmient it,. deserved. The accused, lie.under stood, asserted that the child was not her own, declaring it to have been changed by the midwife who attended during her lying in. This assertion, however, he (Snow) was coin/need was with , out the slightest foundation, for incontestable evidence could be brought forward to prove the fact of this child's identity. Mary Burrows, the defendant, was now called upon to give an . neconnt of bee extraordinary conduct towards the •child. She • commenced by stating, that ever since her lying4n, she had been labouring limier a nervous fever, that almoit brought her to death's door. When she had in seine degree recovered from her illness, the midwife's conduct was such as to impress her with a belief that the infant she had brought to 'her was not her (defendant's) own offspring; but that her's . wag changed for the one in question, at the time of its birth. Mary Linfield here solemnly declared that the child in question was the identical one of which Mrs. Burrows had been delivered* Defe►►dant—l know it in not my child ; there is not a single feature in its whole countenance that approaches to a resemblance of myself or the father of the The defendant was next asked whether she knew Mary Linfield was pregnant about , the same time that she was herself. She re plied, that Mary ',infield had several illegitimate children; and that she was certain this was one of them. The Magistrates all agreeing that the chill in question was not satisfactorily identified as the offspring of Mary BurroWs; past poned the farther hearing of the case for a few days; and in the interim gave directions that the child was t o b e ta k en eare ' o f i n the parish workhouse.

'Twits evening time, in the twilight sweat I was sailing, when—whom should I meet, But a Turtle, journeying o'er the sea, " 'On the service of His Majesty !" When I spied him first, in the twilight dim, I did not know what to make of him ; But mid to myself—as slow he plied His fine, and roll'd, from aide to side, Conceitedly over the watery path— "'Tis my Lord of St.L.--w , -11, taking a bath, " And I hear bin) now, among the fishes, "Quoting Vatel and Burgersdieitte !" But, no.'twae, indeed, a Turtle, wide And plump rwever these eyes descried; A Turtle, jmiey Ss every vet Glued up the lips of a Baronet ! Ah, much did it grieve my soul to eert That an_aninial of such dignity, Like an absentee abroad should roatu t When be Imght to stay and be ate, at borne• But now "a change came o'er my dream," Like the magic lantern's shifting slider; I look'd, and saw, by the evening beam, On the back of that Turtle pat a rider, — A goodly man, with an eye so merry, I knew 'twas our Foreign Secretary, Who there, at hie ease, did pit and smile, Like Waterton on his crocodile; Cracking such jokes at every motion, As made the Turtle squeak with glee. And own that they gave him sclively. notion' Of what his own fored-meat balls would be. So, on the .Sc.,e in his glory, went, 'Over that briny elernent, Waving his hand, as he took farewell, With a graceful air, and bidding me tell Inquiring friends that the Turtle and lie Were gone on a foreign Embassy - To soften the heart of s Di:plomate, Who is known to dote upon verda nt fat, And to let admiring Europe see, That calipash and calicaliper Are the English forms of Diplomacy * We are told th a t th e !
